Match.com for textile companies?

Posted January 20, 2008 8:00 AM

The newly launched Web site, www.nctextileconnect.com, lists 115 textile-related companies in North Carolina. It is a joint effort between the commerce department and North Carolina State University's College of Textiles. Although NC is still considered to be the biggest textile-production employer today, the state has shed "thousands of jobs" due to foreign competition since the 1990s.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Textile Manufacturing & Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Textile Manufacturing & Technology today.
